Let's start our private cloud deployment. First, we need to create service accounts.
In order to install, configure, and manage SQL, and VMM and its components, we need to create user and service accounts. My recommendation is to keep the account names similar, but the naming convention is up to your business to decide.
To perform this recipe, you need to have domain administrator rights or delegate permissions assigned to your account. You will also need to connect to the domain controller w2k16-dc (as shown in the previous infrastructure diagram) by using Remote Desktop Connection (RDC), or use the Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT) to open the Active Directory Users and Computers (ADUC).
